21、One day, gardeners might not just hear the buzz of bees among their flowers, but the whirr of robots, too. Scientists have managed to turn an unassuming drone (无人机) into a remote-controlled pollinator (授粉媒介) by attaching horsehairs coated with a special, sticky gel to its underbelly.
Animal pollinators are needed for the reproduction of 90% of flowering plants and one third of human food crops. Chief among those are bees — but many bee populations in the United States have been in steep decline in recent decades. Thus, the decline of bees isn't just worrisome because it could disrupt ecosystems, but also because it could disrupt agriculture and economy. People have been trying to come up with replacement techniques, but none of them are especially effective yet.
Scientists have thought about using drones, but they haven't figured out how to make free-flying robot insects that can rely on their own power source without being attached to a wire. “It’s very tough work,” said senior author Eijiro Miyako, a chemist at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology. His particular contribution to the field involves a gel, one he’d considered a mistake 10 years before and stuck in a storage cabinet. When it was rediscovered a decade later, it hadn’t dried up or degraded at all. “I was so surprised because it still had high viscosity,” Miyako said.
The chemist noticed that when dropped, the gel absorbed an impressive amount of dust from the floor. Miyako realized this material could be very useful for picking up pollen (花粉). He and his colleagues chose a drone and attached horsehairs to its smooth surface to mimic a bee’s fuzzy body. They coated those horsehairs in the gel, and then controlled the drones over lilies, where they would pick up the pollen from one flower and then deposit the pollen at another one, thus fertilizing it.
The scientists looked at the hairs under a scanning electron microscope and counted up the pollen grains attached to the surface and found that the drones whose horsehairs had been coated with the gel had about 10 times more pollen than those that had not been coated with the gel.
Miyako does not think such drones would replace bees altogether, but could simply help bees with their pollinating duties. There’s a lot of work to be done before that's a reality, however. Small drones will need to become more controllable and energy efficient, as well as smarter, with better GPS and artificial intelligence.
【1】What does the underlined word “viscosity” in Para.3 probably mean?
A．Hardness.
B．Stickiness.
C．Flexibility.
D．Purity.
【2】We can learn from the passage that ______.
A．bees disrupt both agriculture and economy

【3】A drone works best in picking up pollen when ______.
A．its body is made like a bee’s
B．its GPS works more efficiently
C．some flowers are coated with the gel
D．horsehairs with the gel are attached to it
【4】According to Eijiro Miyako, the drones ______.
A．are not yet ready for practical use
B．may eventually replace bees in the future
C．are much more efficient than bee pollinators
D．can provide a solution to economic depression

23、What is body language? Body language is a term used to describe the method of communication using body movements or gestures instead of spoken language or other communication. Body language also includes many movements that most people pay no attention to, such as winking(眨眼)and slight movements of the eyebrows and other facial expressions.
Perhaps body language is one of the most powerful forms of human expression, which makes up 50% or more of what we are communicating to other persons. If you wish to communicate effectively, besides the words, you can use your body to say what you mean.
Also, body language is one of the easiest ways for you to tell what’s really going on in a conversation with another person. The body language that you observe from other people will tell you whether or not those people are telling you the truth, or whether there is something more that’s not being said. Watch, look and observe. Sometimes you can tell more by a person’s body language than his words.
Besides, body language can be used for all sorts of things, such as showing confidence and winning respect in any situation. You can use body language to make people less nervous and make friends quickly persuaded and influenced.
【1】What’s the man idea of Paragraph 1?
A. The definition of body language.
B. The importance of body language.
C. The occasions to use body language.
D. The ways to understand body language.
【2】Which of the following is true of body language?
A. It’s always noticed by talked in conversations.
B. It’s more powerful than words in communication.
C. It’s the easiest way to make people less nervous.
D. It’s helpful to tell the real meaning behind words.
【3】Why are people advised to observe the body language?
A. To show confidence.
B. To communicate easily.
C. To draw more attention.
D. To understand properly.
【4】Which are people advised to observe the body language?
A. Sports and Education.
B. Diet and Health.

24、 The different parts of a health care system have different focuses. A hospitals stroke（中风） unit monitors blood flow in the brain. The cardiac unit is interested in that same flow, but through and from the heart. Each collection of equipment and data is effective in its own field. Thus like the story of blind men feeling an elephant, modern health care offers many separate pictures of a patient, but rarely a useful united one.
On top of all this, the instruments that doctors use to monitor health are often expensive, as is the training required to use them. That combined cost is too high for the medical system to scan regularly for early signs of illness so patients are at risk of heart disease or a stroke.
An unusual research project called AlzEye, runby Moorfields Eye Hospital in London, in cooperation with University College London （UCL）may change this. It is attempting to use the eye as a window through which signals about the health of other organs could be discovered. The doctors in charge of it. Siegfried Wagner and Pearse Keane, are studying Moorfields database of eye scans, which offers a detailed picture of the health of the retina.（视网膜）.
The project will go a step further：With the information about other aspects of patients health collected from other hospitals around England doctors will be able to look for more accurate signs of disease through eye scans.
Lhe Moorfields data set has lots of linked cases to work with---far more than any similar project. For instance, the UK Biobank, one of the world’s leading collections of medical data about individual people, contains 631 cases of a major cardiac adverse event”. The Moorfields data contain about 12, 000 such. The Biobank has data on about 1,500 stroke patients. Moorfields has 11900. For the disease on which the Moorfields project will focus to start with dementia, the data set holds 15100 cases. The only comparable study has 86.
Wagner and Keane are searching for patterns in the eye that show the appearance of disease elsewhere int he body. If such patterns could be recognized reliably, the potential influence would be huge.
【1】What does the author mean by referring to "the story of blind men feeling an elephant” Paragraph 1?
A.The scanning process is complex.
B.Modern health care system has its limitations.
C.The data collected from the units is not effective.
D.Different health care units have many similarities.
【2】How does AlzEye work?
A.By examining one's body organs thoroughly.
B.By helping doctors discover one's diseases of the eye.
C.By identifying one's state of health through eye scans.
D.By comparing the eye-scan data from different hospitals.
【3】What's the purpose of the numbers mentioned in paragraph 5?
A.To criticize the repeating scanning process.
B.To show the abundant resources to study on.
C.To claim Moorfields's top place among London hospitals.
D.To explain the competition between Moorfields and the Biobank.
【4】Which one is the best title for the text?
A.Eye scanning: a cure for diseases.
B.Huge breakthrough in scanning technology.
C.The importance of building eye scan database.
D.A picture of the eye---door to your health condition.
